About this study

Official title: The Use of Magnesium to Improve Hemodynamics, Cholesterol, and Glucose Control: A Substudy of AdMag

The purpose of this study is to determine if magnesium can improve blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar control in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs).

Read the detailed description

Magnesium is the second most abundant intracellular cation and plays a vital role in many physiologic processes. It has been determined that patients with cardiovascular disease have intracellular magnesium (Mgi) deficiencies. Among the ICD registries in Europe and the United States 64% and 77% of patients also carry the diagnosis of CAD, respectively. Patients with CAD have risk factors that lead to the development and or propagation of atherosclerosis. Paramount among these risk factors are hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes.

Comparison: Magnesium compared to placebo in patients with ICDs to evaluate the effect they have on cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing magnesium L-lactate in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Hypertension, run by Hartford Hospital at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blood pressure, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, thoracic fluid content, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and blood glucose (time frame: at baseline, 3, and 6 months of follow-up). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 May 2019.
